The | story we gleaned of tEe matter is that! j Bennett and his better half, ac- , Aimpanied by his daughter Ada and I , her worse half, started on a cruise i j through the sounds, and carried with i , them in the launch, a good b<g chunk i of ice, probably to keep their wines , and cigars cool. When they reached : ■ tneir destination. Pilot Harry geared > ( to the ice for the purpose of getting j ^ it ashore, but the slippery varmint , slipped, ceme down on the stern of the ] | boat, and tipped it, going overboard j ( 1 itself and carrying Bennett with it. in | ( I spite of his fine Sunday attire, red | , I necktie, white westco't, patent leathers, \ ■ | and all. Then the sudden lurch sent I Charley Weeks, Ada's husbaod, a-tumbling alter "dad," in spite of the| j fact that ne too, was all slicked up i readv for the Wildwood boardwalk, j . : | Tnen something occurred which is still | j I puzzling Bennett. Ada. exclaimed [ with real emotion, wben Charley went ' over. "Oh! there goes Charley." as , thought that were the sum of her ) losses and "dad" wants to know wheie r he comes in Well, they were a pretty | pair of specimens when they came out, j but they are mighty good Christian j 1 1 men. for they didn't let go of a single 1 1 bad word.

THE WATERWAY WORI »NEV JERSEY". ARR1YES Wurk Pnceeiiug eu the lulu* Watenraj uJ wiU C*utine all Viuter. The dredge, "New Jersey, and scow, towed by the tugs, "L. Y. Echermerborn and "Philadelphia," arrived .at Spring Inlet Saturday and entered the harbor on the high water at 1 p. m . to begin the work of create the inland waterway which the state is "about to provide in accordance with passed last winter. The work will go on ail winter as long aa - the weather will permit and the channels will be completed in time for summer use as far as possible up the shore. The route surveyed u as nearly an air line as it can be made and does not folthe winding natural channels but cuts through meadows, joining various channels at different points und giving direct line whicn will unorten the distance between the resorts considerably. THE GREATEST CONCERT. (Communicated) The testimonial concert of .Tbeodor Gordohn and famous orcnestra was tne greatest musical treat of the season. puolic showed its appreciation by out "en masse." On account of lack of space heretofore tms critique has been reserved. For No. 1, the orchestra rendered "Dichter und Bauer." overture, by Suppe, which was played wonderiully well. Every possible nuance was observed and the shading, pnrusing ana ensemble were perfect. Mr. D. V. Griffin, baritone, of Ptnladelpnik, proved his 'exceptional qualities >s a sioger. The "Gri Tu" of Verdi, was j splendidly sung and generously encored. Mr. William A. Kraushaa''s wonder - ful flute playing, was shown to advan- | in the composition he selected to | perform, which is said by musical authorities to ue the moil difficult ever written for the instrument. His performance was nothiug short dT marvelous. "The Opera Mirror"' Consisted of i excerpts from operas of Bizet, Rossini, j Verdi, Donizetti, etc. These refleqi tions were so perfect one couia imagine I perfectly listening to the voices of j Carusa. Melba, Bouchi or Sembrich. Mrs. E. W. Mudge, of Pittsburg, never sang so beautiluily us on Friday I night, the songs selected being "Sunset," by Dudley Buck, followed ! by Nevins' "Oh ! That we two were j Maying." She «as presented with a beautiiul bouquet of American ; beauties. | Mr. Theodor Gordohn again charmed i audience with Saint Saens "Roudo i Capriccioso. " It requires an artist of ; Mr. Gordohn 's calibre to bring out all ; the remarkable beauties of this com- ! position and he did so to the perfect j satisfaction of the audience. The applause was answered with the popular I "Berceuse" by Godard, which caught | the public in the i roper mood. FolI lowing Mr. Gordohn. Mr. Daniel I i Lieberfeldt rendered piano solo for (a) "Waltz Scherzo." iby Moszkowski, a | composition of big technical difficulties, and for (b) a daiuty little , "Arabesque," by Leschetizki. I I Mr. Lieberfeld possesses a technique 1 1 and tone which ranks him with the . ablest pianists. The applause did not " cease until Mr. Lieberfeld played a ' difficult and beautiful number for the left hand alone. Mr. Kanews played for his solo I "Meditation," by Mr. Theodor Gorr dohn. He always plays ; beautifully, i but he proved to us that the comj poser's presence has the power to inspire him. It also proves an asser- ■ tion made by many of ,the audience, namely ; that Mr. Theodor Gordohn's Orchestra consists only of artists. ' The last number was the novelty of i the evening and proved to be a big i surprise. The composition is written i in such a clever manner as to have one man at a time come oo the stage and when all are assembled, go off one by one. The music is written in a way as cever to sound empty. Mr. Gordohn . calls it, "Late to rehearsal." [It is one 5 of his many compositions and charac- . teristic of him in every way, as not only a sentimentalistic musician, but r alo as an humorist. Mr. Gordohn will resume ihis con- ; certs with his lamous orchestra at the Ansonia, the largest aud most ex- ' pensive apartment house in the world, ' on Monday next Mr. Gordohn also , has a large number of students in that nty, - , . •• ,
